Portuguese Restaurants near Rio Mau, PT

“The place is a sort of bar/resto/cafe. Terrace is nice with a nice view to the river.The food was really nice. We had really nice beef that was nicely marinated in garlic and then grilled. Along with the beef rice, patato chips and some veggies were served. We also ordered an extra salad. We had vino verde, coffee and icecream and for 5 people (3 adults 2 kids) we paid around 70€. The view is very nice, but bring a sweater and pants in the evening (also in summertime) if you sit on the terrace.“

“Small restaurant with simple food. Price for 2 starters, 2 main courses, 2 desserts, 1 bottle of wine and a small bottle of water 40€. Good service! Attention: If you don't take bread and olives, you should definitely check the bill.“

“I went with a group of people and I confess that I was a little skeptical about the place, based on what I had heard and especially the prices charged. However, fortunately it was a good surprise. The service is discreet and efficient without much conversation, but everything arrives at the table at a good pace. Dinner was long and everything I tried was of excellent quality and with great care in presentation. Above all, the mixed meats were surprising due to their quality, as were the desserts. I liked the room, the environment is more complicated because there are several tables and groups in this case, it makes the environment more stuffy and noisy but that doesn't help, but without disturbing. In short, it won't be a place you can go "always" but it's an excellent option in this city for those looking to eat quality meat and beyond. I didn't have the opportunity to see the wine list because it was already chosen and I can't comment, it will be for analysis on a next visit.

“For those who find themselves walking the coastal road of the Camino de Santiago, this restaurant is truly unmissable.
Quality traditional Portuguese cuisine at the right price.
The owner very kind and helpful.
Highly recommended.“

“We were recommended by the house where we stayed and the truth is that we loved it. A very pleasant, quiet atmosphere. Exquisite, excellent treatment. He gave us great advice and we felt great and what can we say about the food... we ate a scandal goat and a picanha scary.If you go to Barcelos this is a mandatory stop.

Parking: Easy“

“The unbeatable service. The exquisite food. The perfect room temperature. They were full of attention; very attentive but without overwhelming. The sea bass was exquisite, with golden potatoes but less done inside. Without a doubt a reference to take into account. BBB.“

“Great place to eat well and cheaply. Neat kitchen without pretensions.
Spectacular fish.
The service is very correct and the environment, like the entire area, is a luxury.
We ate on the terrace.
Sea bream on the back with two different garnishes for two people, 35 euros“

“Praça Velha continues to be our go-to restaurant for the prato do dia. Every day, there is a meat or fish dish that is accompanied by salad and potatoes or rice. The meal is started with fresh soup and includes coffee and a dessert (often fresh fruit, chocolate mousse, creme brûlée, or baked cinnamon apple). The prato do dia is always a very-reasonable price and the owners and servers are excellent. You really feel at home here, as they treat each diner with respect. The food is always fresh! It is an easy walk from the main street (one block from the market area) and is nestled in a quaint street. There are about 12 tables for four, one table for 8 or 9, and numerous patio tables.“

“Delicious flavours, quality produce, excellent service from both the front of house team and skilled chefs/kitchen staff. Loved the linguine Nero with prawns, sauteed vegetables were perfectly done and the chocolate mouse was too good. Excellent dining experience with a helpful waitress that helped explain the local beer and wine choices to a couple of Camino pilgrims.“

“Absolutely outstanding restaurant. The chef creativity and execution of the food was incredible. The service was impeccable, very knowledgeable staff. Daniel was great!

We tried the Scallops, which were divine. We then the octopus which was also very good. These were matched with Sidonio de Sousa sparkling wine. We then had the Sea Bass with clams risotto - this was an absolutely outstanding dish! Wow... Finally we tried the lobster with a delicious risotto as well. These dishes were matched with Insula Chao de Lavas, an outstanding wine, perfectly matching the dishes. Finally, we tried their version of the tiramisu...again what a version! Delicious and matching was the fantastic Vinho Madeira Borges! All in all an excellent dinner! Thank you to all the team..“

“We came here by chance when visiting the nearby beach. It was a great success, we ordered some meat skewers and then some rice, be careful with the quantities, the average amount of rice for two people is huge. Of course, spectacular quality, everything very rich, very good service and good price. 100% recommendable“

“(Translated by Google) Very nice place with good homemade food, fast and friendly service, all young but experienced people, I strongly recommend 5 stars without a doubt(Original)Lugar muito agradavel com boa comida tipo caseiro atendimento rapido e simpatico ,tudo gente nova mas experiente recomendo vivamente 5 estrelas sem duvida

“It's probably the only restaurant outside the Mealhada route that can match the quality of the suckling pig! Just watch the whole roast suckling pig pass by, which is cut in front of the customer. A delight!! Everything is good, the suckling pig, the side dishes, the dessert... It's worth it. It is advisable to reserve.“

“Ended up here by mistake, having thought we’d booked a different restaurant. We were however delighted with the food (lots of meat options - fish has to be ordered in advance) and the service, the team were very friendly and spoke great English and advised on our order and wine. The food was reasonable priced, which was lucky as we didn’t see a menu.“

“The restaurant has a very good atmosphere, right on the beach, and the staff are very friendly and attentive. The restaurant is known for its francesinha, but it is not the ideal place for those who like a good spicy sauce, in the Porto style.“

“A good address in Esposende. Very good traditional Portuguese cuisine and very good value for money. We feasted on cod and octopus.
Service a little long. Desserts not great but we know that this is not the specialty of Portuguese restaurants. We will still come back with pleasure.“

“Restaurant recommended by my father who has been going there for 20 years.
Homemade food, with well-served dishes and a welcoming atmosphere.
We ordered Bacalhau à Zé (known as bacalhau à Braga) and Roasted Veal. Both dishes were well served. The Camel Baba was delicious. Very good and homemade food. Prices as expected.
Without a doubt to repeat.“

“I was very well received.Friendly service, fast service.We really liked the sensitivity and care they showed us to know if we were satisfied with the cooking of the food.We visited your space by chance, as we were passing through, but from today we will be back to visit.Thank you for your sympathy.“

“(Translated by Google) A typical tavern from Póvoa de Varzim. Very good cuisine. Daily lunch menu with good dishes always made with the freshest products. In terms of snacks, I highlight the fried Poveira hake, which is of very good quality, very fresh and very well fried. Good red green wine.(Original)Um tasco típico da Póvoa de Varzim.

“I was happy that I found this place on a very rainy day on the Camino to get some food and rest. I had a huge pilgrims menu with soup, bread, salad, main dish, wine and coffee for only 7€!!! The staff was kind and the food was tasty. And no, they do not charge pilgrims more than locals ;-)“

“The Cod is simply wonderful, my daughter ordered the turkey steak and loved it, the waiter André was great with the service, and the dessert was the delicious Rabanada Poveira, Port wine and coffee, André a hug and see you next vacation .“

“Good afternoon, I am very happy to have discovered this restaurant that made me and my family have a pleasant moment of restoration. I was very surprised by Mr. Vitorio Dias, who is a great person with a lot of patience for 5-year-old children! I will come with great pleasure to Tomar next summer to eat again, have a good week! Brandon F * The duck rice is incredible“

“The seafood rice is famous and deserves it! It's a simple and traditional restaurant and the prices are really fair!The waiters are efficient and friendlyDefinitely, a good option if you want to have a cheap and good quality meal with friends or family!“

“We were highly recommended by a local colleague to have our lunch here. The restaurant, located near the seaside of Porto, boasts beautifully decorated interiors and exteriors. I enjoyed the fresh seafood, especially the catch of the day from the ocean. We shared a large grilled seabass, commonly caught in these waters, and it was delicious and fresh, simply grilled to perfection. I also loved the clams, which were incredibly fresh and cooked simply with olive oil, making them so flavorful and tasty, full of umami. Paired with the local Douro River white wine, it was a fantastic experience! My other colleague chose the local beef, which looked delicious as well. We ended the meal with cheesecake and tiramisu, both delightful. The service was fantastic, despite only one waitress speaking good English. Overall, it’s a great place to enjoy excellent cooking.“

“Restaurant that you would not notice from the facade, but it is worth entering and finding pleasant, friendly staff eager to offer you good food. Please come in and enjoy. Greetings to the waitress who made everything easier for us. Very good food“

“We stopped at this restaurant on the way to Santiago de Compostela by chance and were amazed.The menu is very varied, from starters to fish and meat dishes and even desserts. I can't even tell you about the flavor... I'm a fan of beef and for me it has to be at that point that few can reach... I was at that point! The chicken was also great and the dessert was really good.The decor is sober, very clean and tasteful, I didn't think I would find such professionalism in such young people, they are all young but they already know the value of good work.As for the price, which is what interests a lot of people, I honestly thought it would be more expensive, it was affordable.We will definitely return!“

“(Translated by Google) The best francesinhas in the whole city!! Homemade fries, quality products, impeccable service!(Original)Les meilleures francesinhas de toute la ville!! Des frites maison des produits de qualité, un service impeccable !“

“Very pleasant space, well decorated with a rustic style, great service and fantastic food.We ordered cod with cornbread in the oven over the phone in advance. It exceeded our expectations, with wonderful quality and quantity.For dessert, we chose banofee pie, simply perfect. We only paid 32 euros for everything.Thank you and we hope to come back soon ☺️“

“Authentic, original and different tavern. Very friendly service and very good food. It is a perfect place to watch the sunset on the opposite wall with a beer and then have dinner there. We were surprised that it was very cheap too. They told us that the kitchen was late and we waited because the place is worth the wait.“

“Extremely friendly, attentive and competent, as well as authentic service! I would like to give this one more star!

The ambience outside in the small square, surrounded by old, typical buildings from the turn of the century or older with a view of a beautiful linden tree, is simply very pleasant.

The food was very tasty. I had bacalau with potatoes, spinach and asparagus. Delicious!
The white wine recommended with it was very suitable and would have absolutely convinced me on its own.

Definitely a restaurant that I would happily recommend visiting.“

“I went to have dinner with some friends and two dogs, it was the only dog friendly place in all of Barcelos that was open at this moment. The food was good and the service very good. As a dog owner, I support all the businesses where my dog is welcome.“

“To say it was spectacular is an understatement. The treatment is 10, from the moment you walk through the door everything is perfect, super nice and professional. The food is very delicious and well presented. The delicious desserts. The place is very beautiful, with several environments for all tastes. To repeat without a doubt!!

“I've known this restaurant for over 23 years, I've had many good times there.I don't go there as often as I want because I live far away... But when I go to the area I make a point of stopping by.It's been around a lot, it's changed a lot but always for the better?. If you want to eat well, have excellent service in a relaxed and "stupidly" well decorated environment (I used this word because of the excellent wine cellar on display, which in itself is a reason to visit)... Visit and do it. my words.Close to the beach, in the Póvoa de Varzim bullring area.Go there, you won't be disappointed...Bon appétit ?

Kid-friendliness: Large restaurant, without major obstacles or special care for children. No problem at all.“

“If you like pizza, pasta or salads, Formeria São Pedro is in good hands. Salads are served here in a freshly baked dough shell - a delight! The pizzas ? are very delicate here.

Vegetarian options: There are also vegetarian salads, pasta dishes and pizzas here.

Kid-friendliness: Children are welcome.“

“A chicly decorated restaurant. The portion sizes of the food were ideal. Beef steak was on point, tasted great and was extremely tender. The service was a bit stressful, probably because a wine tasting was taking place at the same time.

Kid-friendliness: They responded to our wishes for the children.“

“I feel at home. The hosts are amazing, the food is great and the environment is conducive to meeting people and having fun! The games cave is impressive, it really has everything! I adore! ?

Kid-friendliness: My daughter loves it! They offer lots of games for the family!“

“Newcomers to these things Google couldn't stop praising this house. On vacation in Esposende they recommended this barbecue. An excellent surprise. I ordered and it was ready on time. Fresh produce and excellent barbecue sauce. Clean place and people. We will be back soon for sure.“

“1st time for me in Apulia.
Based for years at the suave mar hotel in Esposende every time I come to Portugal, I used to have lunch and dinner in this city or Porto, Braga, Viaba, Barcelos during my visits.
Due to Covid I haven't been here for 5 years. What a disappointment, the desposende restaurants have let themselves go.... little quality and exorbitant prices given the quality and taste offered. Esposende has also lost its aura...
So I fell back on the advice of my cousin, on Apulia which I discovered and found very pleasant, beautiful beaches bordered by windmills, historic buildings and a plethora of restaurants...
This one made me very welcome, I tasted very good grilled sardines, excellent seafood rice, served in quantity and quality: small shrimps, 6 very large prawns, 1/2 crab, cockles, mussels, small crabs, pairs, squid.... all served with humor, attention and kindness.
As soon as I return to Portugal I will go back there licking my lips?“

“Unfortunately there was no time for a photo of the beautiful Rodovalho à Bulhão Pato, I highly recommend it!! Generous portions, great fish, great service, great view, everything very good.
This was exactly the lunch I wanted to have with my family, with good food and a good atmosphere!!“

“As I indicated with the rating, it is the first time but the truth is it is truly wonderful, I went without a reservation but the truth is that there were still people waiting very quickly when it came to giving you a table, and the treatment was rated with stars. I recommend it.“

“Hamburger specialties and, in particular, fish-based specialties; original and delicious.
The bar ceviche is nice.
Service provided by attentive and diligent young girls.
I didn't taste the hamburger with meat.
Perfect Nicola espresso.
Terrace on the street nevertheless pleasant because separated by glass walls.
Dog friendly.

Kid-friendliness: Terrace and room

Wheelchair accessibility: On the terrace only“

“Very good service, we love the waitress who always serves us and is very kind!! Five stars for her!!
The seafood was great, fresh and tasty!
The only caveat is the oysters, which despite being tasty, are very small and in my opinion are not worth the price they charge.
That's my only observation!
We will definitely be back, it's one of my son's favorite places!“

“What a great surprise lunch!!
Typical restaurant with discreet entrance. Cozy atmosphere, very friendly and attentive staff.
Excellent food, very good starter board, we ate cod with cornbread (delicious!), the children ate meat (very tender and tasty), and to finish off the homemade desserts (divine).
We definitely recommend it and we will return.“

“An excellent bike friendly restaurant along the coastal caminho. Very generous portions of great food at a great price. Menu of the day had three options that included soup and a coke for 10 euro. Great staff made us feel right at home. They even opened 15 minutes early for us.“

“Staying at Parque de Campismo de Vila Cha and went in search of local restaurants. What a fabulous and unexpected find! It may not look much from the street but the upstairs restaurant was lovely and full of locals which is usually a good sign. Staff were very attentive and food was absolutely delicious. We ate the monkfish rice to share for mains and it was outstanding. Would strongly recommend a visit. If we were staying here longer we’d definitely come back again!“

“You already know: to give five stars, it's because the "tacho", together with the atmosphere and the service, justify it.

The food was exceptional. We ate cod with cornbread and picanha. Everything wonderful. Fair price for the quality. Super friendly and professional service. I recommend.“
